Right now I am crocheting infinity scarfs for charity but as always I Love Watching your stitch a longs and flosstubes. I really appreciate all the tips you share. 😊
I have watched most all your SALs but have not joined for one reason or another. As I watched this one, I was intrigued but worried about creating the final product. As I see everyone's beautiful progress on the stitching part in the Facebook group, I was inspired to purchase the patterns and give this a try. I'm using aida, but if all goes well, I can see attempting with linen as well. Thank you so much, @NicholSpohrLLC for creating/hosting these SALs.
I love the idea of converting a chart for biscornu. I can see this as being an addiction😆 I haven't bought the chart, 'cause, you know, I've got a bagillion other things to sew & stitch. I've been seeing Chantelle's progress and now, I've paused your video and ordered the Spring and Autumn Basket. I plan to use stash for them. Yay!
Nichol, thank you for not thinking that we know everything. With just starting stitching I did not know how to get the size of cloth. I was so excited when you showed the calculator. Thanks again for showing step by step.
Thanks so much for doing SALs and teaching for new stitchers to be able to follow along. This will be my 3rd cross stitch project, I finished 1 and am almost finished with my second one. The term frogging was mentioned during this video, what is it?
I am intrigued by this SAL. I have stitched three of the seasons of the Triple Play Pillows. I still have spring left to stitch. i was not attracted to the purple and i think that is why I have not stitched them. I love your pink conversion so am going to try and kit up today. Now my decision is do I want another group of pillows or try the biscornu. I love trying new finishes so I am thinking the biscornu is the way to go. Or I could always stitch them twice. I have followed some of your other tutorials so I know the instructions will be the best.
Hi Nichol, I am so excited about this tutorial, I have all 4 seasonal patterns and I love this idea. Hey I do have a question about a different subject, I need your advice on a mat cutter that cuts circles and ovals with various sizes, any help would be great, I did try to email you, but my email was returned. Sorry about getting off subject. Thanks for this tutorial and off I go to stitch. Terri Whisler
Love how yours are turning out! I’m wondering, if I use 14 count Aida, will I need to line it or put interfacing on due to the larger holes in the cloth?
thank you for joining in! frogging is a term used when you make a mistake or error and have to go back and undo or tear out all your prior stitches - hope that helps!
You can but as I talked during the live, it won’t make a huge difference and we will be cutting this fabric down for final assembly. I am showing exactly how I took a non biscornu chart and altered it. When I started mine this is exactly what I did. You can always add extra stitches when figuring your fabric if you want.

Great video. Thanks for sharing this😊
You are so welcome
My first SAL. Such fun and you’re a great teacher.
thank you for joining in! glad to have you here!
I don’t understand the backstitch but look forward to week 3 to see the explanation.😊
I know it can be a little confusing, hopefully this week explained the backstitch in more depth for you!
So much good information! Thank you! I can't wait to get started.
I can't wait to see!

Watched the replay ❤
Thank you for inspiring me to try something new!
Are you stitching the whole border or just the stars for the bottom piece?
I haven't decided yet.

I don’t know of a die cut machine that cuts through mat board.
Love how yours are turning out!
I’m wondering, if I use 14 count Aida, will I need to line it or put interfacing on due to the larger holes in the cloth?
No matter the size I use interfacing to protect the stitches from the filling and to help the design keep it's shape.
I’m so excited for this SAL! So far so good. I’m not familiar with the term frogging. Can you explain? BTW the railroading trick is a game changer!

Nicole - what linen were you stitching with today? Loved the video - thank you!
32 Count Flax Linen by Zweigart
Fun fact from Google:
Biscornu: The name is derived from the French adjective, biscornu, meaning skewed, quirky or irregular.
thanks for sharing!
Shouldn’t we include the border in our stitch count in order to allow enough fabric?
